I had this dream

And when I woke up I had the whole world staring back at me

I was fast asleep

And the things you said weren't so different from what you really mean

And I thought that by now

That this reflection of me would be lost in my sleep

But I've got this sinking feeling

I should be better than this (I should be better than this)



[Chorus:]

And right now my shadow's running away

And I'm afraid of the things you do and all the things you might say

I'm letting all your lies drag me down to your size

I'm letting all your lies drag me down to your size



All I can say

Is your voice is empty

I'm breaking this stride

And don't think you've tempted me

I've walked on this line

It's bending and breaking

So don't be alarmed

When I'm the only one changing



All your lies drag me down to your size



When you said this was only temporary

When you said I'm thinking it over

I'm counting the pins in these maps on my walls

You're living for today

You're not living at all

When you said this was only temporary

When you said I'm thinking it over again

Counting the pages of places I'll go

You're living for tomorrow

You're not living at all



I had this dream

The world was right in front of me

And all I could see

Were things that I couldn't reach

And I believe the things that you told me

But I don't think you know me

I don't think you know me at all



All your lies drag me down to your size



I had this dream

The world was right in front of me

And all I could see

Were things that I couldn't reach

Cause I believe the things that you told me

Now I don't think you know me

I don't think you know me at all
